E.P. routs Warwick Vets
PAWTUCKET --- After scoring just nine goals in its first four games, East Providence High broke out offensively in a big way on Friday night.
James Hall scored three goals, Dave Donahue added two goals and as many assists, and Trevor Medeiros had a goal and two assists to lead the Townies to a 9-0 conquest of a severely shorthanded Warwick Vets High team in their Division III affair at Lynch Arena.
The Townies, who improved to 2-3, outshot the â€™Canes by a 36-6 count and scored twice in each of the first two periods before erupting for five goals in the final 12 minutes of play.
Keith Marquis, Joshua Rocha, and Harrison Jones each added a goal and an assist for the Townies, and Ryan Barry also had multiple assists.
The Hurricanes, who fell to 1-5, dressed just 10 players for the contest, and had one of their eight skaters get thrown out of the game early in the second period for a dangerous hit from behind.
